The Next 50
51. Antawn Jamison - PF/Cavaliers: Quality pro on what will likely be a very bad team; he should be used to that role.52. Paul Pierce - SF/Celtics: Valuable option, but well past his peak.
53. Joakim Noah - C/Bulls: Will Boozer's arrival cut into his boards?
54. Baron Davis - PG/Clippers: Trends are all headed in the wrong direction for Davis.
55. Brandon Jennings - PG/Bucks: Outstanding athlete, but be wary in leagues that track turnovers.
56. LaMarcus Aldridge - PF/Trail Blazers: Hasn't developed in to an elite player, and Portland could be very deep in frontcourt.
57. Kevin Garnett - PF/Celtics: How does Rivers split minutes between KG/Shaq/Jermaine O'Neal/Big Baby?
58. Andrew Bynum - C/Lakers: Could be a superstar if he could ever stay healthy.
59. Anthony Randolph - PF/Knicks: Elite per-minute numbers, and should get plenty of run this season.
60. Jeff Green - PF/Thunder: Not the prototype power forward, but very solid complement to Durant/Westbrook.
61. O.J. Mayo - SG/Grizzlies: Point guard experiment in summer league was a disaster; back to off guard for Mayo.
62. Aaron Brooks - PG/Rockets: Yao's return could slow one of the league's quickest guards.
63. Channing Frye - C/Suns: Excellent combo of threes/blocks/steals, but lost playing time to Dudley/Lopez last year.
64. Marcus Camby - C/Trail Blazers: Will splitting time with Oden, Aldridge help him stay healthy?
65. Devin Harris - PG/Nets: Reunited with Avery Johnson. That may not be a good thing.
66. Paul Millsap - PF/Jazz: With Okur hurt, may finally get a chance to play starter's minutes.
67. Hidayet Turkoglu - SF/Suns: Likely to play the four in Phoenix. I have no idea how that will work.
68. Luis Scola - PF/Rockets: A Yao Ming injury away from a substantial jump up this list.
69. Marcus Thornton - SG/Hornets: Got better as the season went on. Nice fit with Paul/Ariza.
70. Caron Butler - SF/Mavericks: Playing for a new deal, for whatever that's worth.
71. Darren Collison - PG/Pacers: Value gets a huge boost with trade to Indiana.
72. Yao Ming - C/Rockets: Would love to see him play a full season, but won't risk a high pick on him.
73. John Wall - PG/Wizards: Rookie point guards have been great investments in recent years.
74. Ray Allen - SG/Celtics: Still one of the game's top shooters.
75. Gilbert Arenas - PG/Wizards: Was putting together a very nice comeback season before the suspension.
76. Chris Kaman - C/Clippers: Can he repeat his breakout season?
77. Rashard Lewis - PF/Magic: Serious drop-off in numbers over the last two seasons.
78. Trevor Ariza - SF/Hornets: Nice running buddy for Paul and Thornton, but probably won't get as many attempts this year.
79. Michael Beasley - PF/Timberwolves: Don't forget, he posted Durant-esque numbers in college. His last chance?
80. Jamal Crawford - SG/Hawks: Very nice fit on the Hawks, but pushing for a trade.
81. Evan Turner - SG/Sixers: Want to see how he meshes with Iguodala.
82. Roy Hibbert - C/Pacers: Should move into a more prominent role this season.
83. Luol Deng - SF/Bulls: In last year-plus, has moved from second option to… fourth? Fifth?
84. Tyrus Thomas - PF/Bobcats: Finally has a regular role, but won't get big minutes unless someone is hurt.
85. Eric Gordon - SG/Clippers: Love what I'm seeing from him at World Championships. Breakout candidate.
86. Jrue Holiday - PG/Sixers: Another breakout candidate - should be high on the steals leaderboard.
87. John Salmons - SG/Bulls: Far too inconsistent for my taste. Arrival of Maggette could cut into his production.
88. Greg Oden - C/Trail Blazers: Is this the year?
89. Vince Carter - SG/Magic: Also known as "Vince Carter's expiring contract."
90. DeMarcus Cousins - C/Kings: Looked NBA-ready at the Summer League.
91. Luke Ridnour - PG/Timberwolves: Nice run last season, but I don't love any point guard running Rambis' triangle.
92. Tony Parker - PG/Spurs: Could lose playing time to George Hill.
93. Jameer Nelson - PG/Magic: More valuable to the Magic than to your fantasy team.
94. Jason Terry - SG/Mavericks: Stacked Dallas roster makes bench players hard to project.
95. Andrei Kirilenko - SF/Jazz: Playing for his next contract, but always hurt.
96. Samuel Dalembert - C/Kings: How long before Cousins pushes him aside?
97. Anthony Morrow - SG/Nets: Could win the starting gig in New Jersey.
98. Carl Landry - PF/Kings: Does everything well, nothing outstanding.
99. Shawn Marion - SF/Mavericks: Oh how the mighty have fallen.
100. Beno Udrih - PG/Kings: Nice complement to Evans in the backcourt.
